The MDK-15 guard catalyst is used as a protective top layer in small scale hydrogen plants based on methanol decomposition.
MDK-15 is designed to guard against any impurities in the methanol feed. In addition, MDK-15 has a higher resistance to droplets than the methanol decomposition catalyst, which will help minimize the negative effects of any incidents involving partial condensation.
MDK-15 is normally used in combination with theMDK-20methanol decomposition catalyst.
